Chapter 58 Don’t look at your wife, blow out the candles first
Thinking of Han Zhenhao's fatal remarks just now, Sheng Yao tactfully found a way for him to step down, "You have said for a long time that you want to see your uncle's wife. Did you tease her on purpose today? You are so disloyal. You didn't tell us about this plan. Look how badly you performed. You are joking too much. You have no respect for others."
Han Zhenhao looked at her blankly.
Sheng Yao winked at him secretly, and seeing that he didn't understand her good intentions, she reached out and pinched his arm.
"Yeah, I was just joking with Auntie," Han Zhenhao glanced at Chu Shuang and quickly looked away, "I just said those things nonsense, don't take it to heart."
That's what they say, but anyone with a discerning eye can see that it's a slap in the face.
"Why are you all standing outside? Come in and have your meal."
Mrs. Sheng Ji Wenyue saw several young people standing here, called them, and everyone went back to the private room.
Chu Shuang sat next to Sheng Yao and whispered in her ear, "How much did you hear outside just now?"
"From him saying that you have a jerk husband who abuses you to urging you to divorce before being with you..." Sheng Yao said, feeling that Han Zhenhao was extremely rebellious, "I heard everything I should and shouldn't have heard."
Chu Shuang took a deep breath, glanced sideways at Sheng Ting who was chatting with Mr. Sheng, then turned back to ask Sheng Yao.
"Did your uncle hear it too?"
"Well, my uncle was there when Han Zhenhao said he would help you get a divorce, and then when I heard that he wanted to marry you, he was immediately pissed."
Looking at Han Zhenhao, Sheng Yao said, "If there weren't so many people here today, my uncle wouldn't let him go so easily. What's going on? How did he know you without knowing your identity?"
Hatsushimo: “It’s a long story.”
"Yaoyao, stop talking to your aunt all the time and disturbing her dinner."
In Mrs. Sheng's eyes, Sheng Yao insisted on talking to Chu Shuang, and she couldn't refuse her, so she had to patiently accompany her.
After she said this, the two people who were gossiping sat down immediately.
Sheng Ting glanced at Chu Shuang beside him. There were only two green vegetables on her plate. He put a piece of braised pork ribs in her bowl and said in a rather stern voice, "Eat your meal well."
Looking at the piece of pork ribs, Chu Shuang looked at the man's handsome face again.
Why are you suddenly so fierce?
She picked up the bowl and ate the rice, then went to pick up other dishes. The spareribs that Sheng Ting picked for her were left aside by her and she didn't touch them.
The atmosphere at the table was good. Wei Yize and his friends were telling interesting and fun stories. Chu Shuang occasionally listened attentively, stopping to drink a drink and listen to their conversation seriously.
Inadvertently, her eyes bumped into Han Zhenhao who was standing opposite her. He had actually been looking at Chushuang silently, but she noticed him unexpectedly. His eyes flashed and he pretended to be calm and went to pour the drink.
"It will get cold if you don't eat it now."
The man's cool voice came from beside her. Chu Shuang looked at the lonely spareribs in the bowl. For some reason, she said insincerely, "I don't feel like eating spareribs today."
Sheng Ting glanced at the spare ribs in her bowl. She used to like eating spare ribs very much.
Then he took the ribs from her bowl and put them in his own bowl, and gave her some thin slices of halved beef. "Then have something else."
The spareribs in the bowl flew away, and Chushuang was a little stunned.
Then every time the ribs on the turntable turned in front of her, she wanted to grab them but she couldn't because of what she had said.
After a few turns, the plate was empty of spareribs.
The atmosphere on Wei Yize and Zhao Jinzhou's side was lively, but on their side, there was a kind of silent coldness.
No matter how much fun Wei Yize talked about, Chu Shuang was no longer interested.
Sheng Yao pulled Chu Shuang aside to chat. The restaurant waiter came in to add rice and water. Sheng Ting seemed to greet the waiter, but Chu Shuang didn't hear clearly what he said.
"Can I have some grape juice?"
Shengting’s inquiry.
There was already a glass of milk in front of her. Looking at the beautiful color of the liquid in his hand, she hummed softly.
Then he started chatting with Sheng Yao.
After an unknown amount of time, the door of the private room was pushed open again.
The waiter came in with the new dishes, and the first thing he put down was a plate of hot and golden spare ribs.
When Hatsushiro saw it, she was stunned for two seconds.
Sheng Ting had already picked up two pieces and put them in her bowl, and said methodically: "This dish is different from the previous one, honey-grilled spareribs, it's not so greasy, try it."
After looking at it for a while, she quietly picked it up and put it in her mouth.
Especially delicious.
“Is it delicious?”
Nod.
"Then I'll keep it for you." Sheng Ting didn't put the plate on the turntable, but placed it in front of Chu Shuang. "Everyone else has eaten it."
Chu Shuang ate with her eyes slightly lowered, and the sourness in her heart was mixed with honey, turning from sour to sweet.
After dinner, everyone moved to the entertainment hall upstairs, where the waiter pushed a beautiful cake and helped light the candles.
There was soothing music playing in the room and someone turned off the lights.
"Sheng Ting, make a wish."
Originally, Sheng Ting didn't care about these so-called ceremonial things. Since it was Madam Sheng who said that, he just closed his eyes.
Sheng Yao sang the birthday song first, and then everyone followed suit.
As the candlelight flickered, Hatsushimo stood closest to Shengting, singing the birthday song while looking at the man's handsome face with a foolish look.
This was the first time she celebrated his birthday.
In this warm moment, she suddenly had an idea that she wanted to spend the second and third years with him in the future...
After the birthday song ended, the first person Sheng Ting saw when he opened his eyes was Chu Shuang, who was looking up at him intently with her eyes sparkling.
"Happy birthday," she said.
Sheng Ting looked at her quietly.
"Stop looking at your wife and blow out the candles first."
Zhao Jinzhou made a joke.
The candles were blown out and the lights in the room were turned on.
Sheng Yao handed the knife to Sheng Ting, "You want to eat cake? Uncle, quickly share the cake."
Sheng Ting handed the knife to Chu Shuang: "You divide it for me."
Hatsushimo felt like she had taken on a mission, and she divided the cake very seriously and fairly.
But when it came to Sheng Yao, he couldn't resist his selfishness and put some more fruits in it for her.
The entertainment activities afterwards were for young people. After eating the cake, Mrs. Sheng and Mr. Sheng went back first.
Some people have already taken the microphone and are singing on the stage, and the one with the most lively spirit is Wei Yize.
Shi Yue and the Zhengjia brothers sat elegantly, drinking and watching him sing with amusement.
Maybe they felt bored later, so they asked Han Zhenhao and Sheng Yang to play cards with them.
Chu Shuang and the others were more polite. She and Sheng Yao were eating the cake seriously, while Zhao Jinzhou was chatting with Sheng Ting.
Wei Yize on the stage played for a while and felt that this group of people treated him as a performance. He scanned the crowd and fixed his eyes on the person eating cake in a remote corner.
"Today is Sheng Ting's birthday, sister-in-law, why don't you come and sing a song?"
When Hatsushimo was called, she raised her eyes and waved her hands repeatedly, "I don't sing well."
Sheng Yao watched the excitement from the sidelines and said, "When my aunt was in college, she was one of the top ten singers in her school."
Wei Yize held the microphone and said, "Don't be shy. Today is Sheng Ting's birthday. You are his lover, so you have to sing a few lines to show your appreciation."
